I found out her name was Lucia because that's what I often heard her called. Actually, she is beautiful and cheerful. I always see her smiling, and she is also friendly, that's why everyone likes her. Our worlds are extremely diverse, and we are both different. But I couldn't stop staring at her and be curious about her. Sometimes I don't realize I'm already awed by her, and she often catches me staring at her, she'll just smile at me but then turn my back as if I don't care about her. Until one day, she suddenly approached me while I was standing by the window watching the children playing outside. I didn't know that she was standing next to me and silently watching me. I was about to leave, but my eyes widened in shock when I saw her next to me. “I'm just curious why you're always looking at out that window. Now I know what you're always watching. Why don't you come down and join them? They're all nice, and they won't eat you.” She said with a smile, but I didn't respond to her, bu
Lucia and I became close to each other, and she became my first friend. She was the first person I trusted and loved completely, more than myself. I won't deny that I'm slowly falling for her, but I just chose to keep it a secret to myself. As time passes, I get to know her more and more, and gradually something changes in me. I learned to laugh, smile and talk to anyone. Apart from that, I have also changed a lot. The former psycho that they all feared and avoided became a good guy because of an angel like her. It's also because of her that I learned to go to church every week, and my day is always colorful whenever I think of her. I didn't waste a day or a moment to be with her and hear her every story. Until I decided to confess my true feelings to her. It was December fifteenth and it was snowing. I sent a message to her that we both meet at our old meeting place because I have something important to tell her and I also have something to give her. I fully prepared for that day and
Lucia and I haven't seen each other for almost two weeks. She doesn't even call me or come to the orphanage to visit me. I often find myself staring at the window or staring at my cell phone waiting for her to call me, but it looks like she has completely erased me from her life. However, I couldn't let her end up with that man and I wouldn't let them both be happy while I suffered alone from the pain they caused me. I found out about the university that Lucia attends, and I secretly follow her like a stalker. I just followed her wherever she went and watched her from a distance where she couldn't easily see me. Furthermore, I get annoyed when I see the smiles on her lips, and I hate her even more when I see her laughing with that man, her boyfriend. I watched, followed and monitored her every move. I've been following her almost every day wherever she goes, but I'm too scared to show her. There is a fear in my heart that she might get caught to me and be angry with me when she finds
The heavy rain was pouring down as I stood near the window and looked outside. I closed my eyes and inhaled the cool breeze. This is what I like most. I love hearing every drop of rain as well as the cool breeze. When I opened my eyes, I noticed a woman standing outside the gate while she was drenched in the rain. I frowned, and I stared at her carefully, where I realized it was Lucia. So, I quickly ran down the stairs and came out with my black umbrella. I quickly went to where she was and opened the gate. I looked at her from head to toe and noticed that she was shivering from the cold, and it looked like she had been standing there for a while. She slowly looked up at my face and I noticed her puffy eyes as if she had been crying all day. “What are you doing here, Lucia, and why are you wet? Are you losing your mind? What if you get sick?” I said at the same time I put my umbrella on her, and I was the one who got wet in the heavy rain. She suddenly ran to me and hugged me tightly
“We can't contact your fiancée, Lucia. I'm sorry, but it looks like your marriage won't go through.” When I heard what she was said, I almost fell, but they immediately caught me by my arm. It was the most important occasion of my life, but all my dreams suddenly collapsed instantly. I don't know whether what is happening to me is my karma or because nothing is really destined for me. But I also believe that Jake can't do that to me because I know how much he loves me. But if it's true what they tell me that he ran away just so our marriage wouldn't go ahead, what was his reason, and why did he do that? He is so kind and so loyal to me that it is impossible for him to love anyone else besides me. I know all of his close friends, and they all have families of their own. So, how did he run away on the very day of our wedding. Everything is almost ready, we have our own house, and we have plans for our marriage. We also have a plan on how we will build our own family. So, I don't believe
“I'm sorry, but it looks like I won't be able to accompany you to your house because I have something important to go to, but don't worry I'll make sure that man can't get close to you anymore.” I was surprised by what he said, and I did not expect that there are still people like him who have good will. If it wasn't for him, I might in danger now and I hands of Simon. But fortunately, he came at the right timing and time, that's why I immediately felt better about him, besides that, I feel that he is a good person and because that's what I see on his face. He was not only nice but also a gentleman because he never left me alone in the waiting shed until he saw me getting into a taxi. “Thank you, by the way.” I softly said to him that he turn to me, and he just nodded his head. “Not that I'm interfering in your life, but I hope you don't go to that kind of place again. It's dangerous to go to that kind of place alone, especially someone as beautiful as you.” After he said that I turn
While I was walking back to my house, I stopped walking for a moment when I saw a familiar man's face in the distance. If I'm not mistaken, it was Sixto, and he seemed to be heading to that coffee shop, that's why I thought of approaching and calling him. But before I could mention his name, someone suddenly covered my mouth and pulled me into the dark alley. He leaned me against the wall and even though it was dark in that place I could recognize his voice. “How are you, Lucia? It's been a while since we've seen each other and talked like this. I'm sorry if I've been busy these past few days because I've been doing a lot.” He said while I looked at him in shock. “How did you know I was here?” I'm asked him. I didn't reveal everything I knew about him, and I also didn't show my weakness in front of him because he might panic and think of doing something bad to me. “I've been calling you on your phone number for several days, but I can't reach you. Have you changed your number?” he s
“No!” I shouted as I ran, but I was stopped immediately when she fell from the top of the building. All the people around me screamed and were shocked by the incident. My eyes almost widened in disbelief, and suddenly tears started to fall from my eyes without me realizing it. I tried to move my legs but my every step was too heavy and at the same time tears started to fall from my eyes. Weak, scared and nervous. I was feeling mixed emotions at that moment as I walked towards her, but before I got close to her, I heard the arrival of the police car. So instead of going to see her, I immediately turned my back and walked away. I would rather not leave, but I have no other choice because they will definitely catch me and lock me up until I don't see her again. I hid in a dark alley and there I temporarily stopped, and I sat while silently crying. Only then did I realize all the mistakes I made with her and if I had only let her be happy in the company of other people all this would not
